Who Are We Looking to Add to Our Team?
We’re looking for an People Operations specialist to own the operational workflows that keep our people and business running smoothly. You’ll work across People Operations, payroll, finance operations, travel, events, and internal systems, ensuring everything is accurate, timely, and well organised.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys ownership, improving processes, and making sure the details behind a growing company are handled properly.

- Coordinate monthly payroll, contractor invoices, expenses, and approvals, ensuring payments are accurate and on time.
- Manage company travel, accommodation, transport, itineraries, and employee travel queries.
- Plan and coordinate company events, offsites, venues, vendors, and on-the-ground logistics.
- Maintain accurate records across employee data, leave, sick days, bookings, expenses, contracts, and operational documentation.
- Act as a key point of contact for HR and operational queries, resolving issues efficiently and escalating when required.
- Manage SOWs, Change Orders, signatures, and documentation to ensure complete and accurate records.
- Continuously improve operational workflows, documentation, and internal processes to make them more efficient and scalable.
- Build and maintain automation and workflow improvements that reduce manual work, data entry, and errors.
What Makes You a Great Fit
- 3+ years of experience in People Operations, HR Operations, Business Operations, Finance Operations, or a similar role.
- Strong experience managing employee lifecycle processes, contracts, documentation, and HR administration.

- Comfortable working with HRIS, payroll, expense, e-signature, and other business systems.
- Experience using automation tools to reduce manual processes and improve data accuracy.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing, and internationally distributed environment.
Desirable
- Experience in a startup, scale-up, agency, or remote-first company.
